Signs

Mile Marker 419.99 and H.W. Baals Drive are signs

partnered by crimes for street cred.

Stolen names to make a name

of prankster, risk-taker,

one who takes what one wants.

It’s ok. They’ve replaced signs before, right?

It doesn’t cost them much.

Nobody got hurt.

It’s no big deal.

They.

Them.

Nobody.

Can you be more specific?

They…

They refer to you generally too:

Thief.

You’re right, it doesn’t cost them much,

only a sign.

The name on the sign doesn’t cost you much either,

only your good name.

Mile Marker 419.99 and H.W. Baals Drive are real signs

that shouldn’t exist.

It’s no big deal until you are “They.”

Until you are “Them.”

Until you are "Nobody."
